Obituary Notice Alex Parker 1935 - 2010 Alex Parker, has died, aged 74, he suffered a heart attack and passed away on Thursday 7th January. Alex was born on August 2, 1935 in Irvine, Ayrshire, and was a former Scottish international footballer most prominent during his time with Everton. Alex was a fullback, and began his career with Kello Rovers, turning semi-professional when he joined Falkirk in 1952. He stayed with the Bairns for almost six seasons, The highlight of his Bairns career was a Scottish Cup win in 1957 when Falkirk defeated Kilmarnock 2-1 at Hampden Park in a replayed final following a 1-1 draw. Alex also became a Scotland international during this period, earning his first cap against Portugal in 1955. He was selected in the squad for the 1958 FIFA World Cup, making one appearance against Paraguay, which also transpired to be his final national team cap. Alex moved to Merseyside in 1958 when Everton paid £18,000 for his transfer. Although his Toffees debut was delayed by his requirement to fulfil National Service in Cyprus, he eventually became a stalwart in the side which won the 1962-63 League Championship. Alex left Goodison Park in 1965, joining Southport for £2,000. After 3 years with the Sandgrounders he moved to Northern Ireland to become player-manager of Ballymena United. He joined Drumcondra as a player in 1970 but left for Southport after only three months, where he was given a coaching role. Two months later he was promoted to manager but this appointment lasted only a single season. After his retirement from the footballing world, Alex became a publican in Runcorn and lived in Gretna, Dumfriesshire. Another legend joins the big team above. All at BairnsTrust would like to pass on our condolences to his family and friends

Obituary Notice Former Falkirk striker Paul McGrillen has been found dead in his home. The strikers body was found in his home in Hamilton on Wednesday night. He was 37 years old. Mowgli scored an impressive 23 goals in 82 games for the Bairns and also played for Motherwell, Airdrie, East Fife, Stirling Albion, Partick Thistle, Clydebank, Stenhousemuir and Stranraer. McGrillen was part of the Motherwell Scottish Cup winning team from 1991 but did not feature in the final. He is the fourth member of that squad to die tragically young along with Davie Cooper, Phil O'Donnell and Jamie Dolan. McGrillen was playing football for junior club Bathgate Thistle and featured as recently as last week where he played ironically against Motherwell. All at BairnsTrust pass on our condolences to his family and friends
